Wouldn't Mind a Little Warming

We're in San Mateo County
Foster City (37° 33' 31" N / 122° 16' 12" W) is just north of the 37th parallel--roughly the northern border of Arizona and New Mexico--and very rarely experiences temperatures below 40°F.

Mid-westerners will mock our lack of toughness, but they should know that living in heat is much healthier than cold, nearly 20 times as healthy.
The study — published in the British journal The Lancet — analyzed data on more than 74 million deaths in 13 countries between 1985 and 2012. Of those, 5.4 million deaths were related to cold, while 311,000 were related to heat.
Going outdoors, even swathed in several layers, is becoming very uncomfortable in 40-degree temperatures to older bones with slowing metabolism.

(Whisper): I wouldn't mind if the planet warms a few degrees like the alarmists say it will.
